We shop at Aldo’s for all that stuff. Butter $2.99, mustard .89, ketchup .99, mayo $1.89, bars of cheese 1.79 each. The savings are incredible!
I went to Aldi’s for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Wow! What a difference in price compared to the regional grocery store where I normally shop and to some extent, from Walmart. It was thrilling (OK, I’m easy to please) to go through there and check out their selection.
That said - I’m picky about brands. I’m happy to buy a store brand, but I need to know what it tastes like. Example, I only like Philadelphia cream cheese. They had another brand, which my son was OK with, but I wasn’t going to take the chance. I’d be OK with basics such as canned corn, though.
Also, I don’t think I could do all of my shopping there - I think it’s one of those stores that you don’t know what they have until you go in. I don’t think I could get everything on my list there. Finally, as a vegetarian, there weren’t a lot of veg prepared foods. I’d have to shop elsewhere for them.
Still, it was fun to see what it was about. I do a major shop in the fall before the bad weather sets in and can absolutely see stopping at Aldi’s for a lot of what I need.
I’ll have to take a look at some of the other stuff.
They got overstocked in Texas one evening and Vitamin D milk was $1.69 a gallon. Good stuff.
